[general] AutoPatcher XP for other languages


Recommended Posts

Just to get things straight, because I'm a bit confused........ :blink:

Is the December update going to have the Dutch update files, or just some Dutch texts in it???????

The December Update will be 100% English. BUT - I will be releasing custom language packs that will upgrade your install to the language of your choice (the documentation and the updates).

O.k......to get it straight: This December release will be all English, but future updates wil have (for example) Dutch update files (so you can use Autopatcher with a Dutch version of XP) and Dutch texts?

Um... not exactly... let me explain it a little better.

You want a Dutch version of AutoPatcher XP, let's say. This is what you would do:

1. Download AutoPatcher XP Dec Update

2. Download AutoPatcher XP Dutch Language Pack

3. Run Updater in Dutch Language Pack, will convert the files and documentation in the December Update to their Dutch versions.

:)

but jason, wouldnt it be better to just make a dutch version of the December release instead of making a special pack... i mean it would save a lot of MBs... they would download 180MB + 100MB = 280MB for the dutch pack... they would only have to download 180MB...

Just a thought...

I guess that's true, but I was looking at the space point of view... if I did that for Dutch, I'd have to do it for all of them. I just thought Lang Packs would be the way to go... hmmm... I'll figure somethin' out. :)

Cool... and while you are at it... don't forget the Belgian language pack :D.

I am kidding Flish, there is no such language as Belgian :no:.

We are 3-lingual by defaul and Dutch is one of them ;).

Actually I knew that! :D I lived close to Belgium for about 5 years, and visited a few times (I even have an old scar from a Belgium Amusement Park). :)

Hi All,

New member here (but no noob on PCs). I'd like to thank FlishFun and Raptor for their work, great idea, even better job.

After finding my way down here I discovered that I was not the only one with my wish. Got a couple of questions though. First of all, let me begin to say I am in desparate need for a Dutch version, as a sysadmin for a social department, providing jobs for less able folks, I am 'blessed' with a batch of probably the most illiterate pc-users you've ever seen. Strike that, I don't think you can begin to imagine...they're the kind that has even trouble reading/understanding anything put before them in their own language, let alone English. (for those understanding Dutch, the expression 'sociale werkplaats' says enough I trust)

:cry: To top it all, since they're almost all too ignorant to do this themselves, my boss decided, somewhere before my time, that if employees have problems with home machines, they can bring these in the IT dep. and we'll put it back in a running condition, cleaned of garbage and updated and all (thank you boss! :pinch: ).

So you can appreciate my need for something that is as idiot proof as possible, as such I am very motivated to get a totally Dutch version working.

Now, what I like to know is,

what is the current status of any translations being done ?

need any help ? (if I can help speed things up, do not hesitate to ask, got oodles of time)

Also, I read somewhere in this thread something about the patcher becoming slow if I were to do a resource translation of the main program? In relation to this and the fact I need to download both a full English autopatcher and all the corresponding Dutch updates, suppose we (Dutch volunteers) can find a place to host a full Dutch version, would it be possible to reach some kind of agreement where these same volunteers would gain permission to keep it in sync with the English version on their own, releaving FlishFun and Raptor of the need to maintain language dependant installs?

Regards

welcome to neowin :p it's a gr8 place...

let me get things straight...you want to have a full dutch version of autopatcher so that your end-users can update their pc by themselves?

cuz if you want to do that you will have to download ALL the DUTCH updates yourself and rename them to the english filenames of the original AP update-files :p

i dunno if flish is solving that in the upcoming update but this is the way it should work..i guess....

but if you want that those ppl @ your social workshop:P to do it themselves....i dunno...don;t u think it's better to do it yourself?...AP is really easy but for total computer n00bs who only speak "marokkaans of turks" :p i think u should just do it yourself :p to prevent them cumming back :p

Thnx for the welcome :D ,

To get things straight, it is not because these folks speak 'Turks' or 'Marokaans' (I would not dare begin to include these languages too since I don't speak them) but simply because most lack the mental capabilities to understand what they're doing. They're the kind that is just capable enough to do MSN or hotmail, but are lost finding their way to the start menu.

Basically what I want to do is for those folks to create a special version (only for personal use) that runs completely unattended, that leaves me with only the initial dialog(s) to translate I guess. OTOH, once you're going to do some translating, it would be a little thing to go all the way and do a full translation for those who are more comfortable with doing an interactive update but still can't read English.

Regards

PS. And I realize they'll be in anyways, but it is no use going into discussion with them about this since they will do it anyways, no matter what you say)

It's december......haven't had anything to translate yet....very curious on how things are going......Allready designed a nice cover, guys????? ;o)

haha Well, yes it officially is December, but you still have a little while to wait. :)

I'm still working on everything (got no work done this last 4 day weekend because of family things I had to take care of all of my 4-day weekend... let's just say my brother needs to get a serious beating)... and it should all be done on time, hopefully. lol I'm shootin' for Dec 15th... but if it gets done sooner, it'll be out sooner (it won't be out any later than Dec 26th though [at 7:00 PM on Dec 26th I will be limited to 8 min a day on the PC until Jan 4th], so don't worry).

I promise to send you the documentation to translate when I finish. Don't worry, I didn't forget. :D Yes, we have a nice cover so far, but it's also still being worked on.

Hi guys,

I'll be more than happy to do the Hebrew version. I'll get those updates tonight.

:-)

-E-

Thanks! :D

@Twisted Maniac - Hmmm... yeah, I'm sure more people will see that movie than the new AutoPatcher, but whatcha gonna do? lol

@theteek - I'm tryin'! :)

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

    • How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.
    • This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
